Use ONLY clean, high-quality fuel.
Use Grade No. 2-D fuel above 40°F (4°C).
Use Grade No. 1-D fuel below 40°F (4°C).
Use Grade No. 1-D fuel for all air temperatures at altitudes above 1 500 m (5000 ft).
IMPORTANT:
If fuel sulfur content exceeds 0.5 percent, the engine oil drain interval must be reduced by 50 percent (to 125 hours).
Use fuel with less than 1.0 percent sulfur. If possible, use fuel with less than 0.5 percent sulfur.

For maximum filter life, sediment and water should not be more than 0.10 percent.
The cetane number should be 40 minimum. If you operate your machine where air temperatures are normally low or where altitudes are high, you may need fuel with a higher cetane number.
Cloud Point-For cold weather operation, cloud point should be -12°C (10°F) below lowest normal air temperature.
